It would be nice if we could get the developers to spring for a grand or so to put plaques on the historic buildings and sites downtown. The City did that back in the 1970’s during it’s early redevelopment efforts. There were plaques installed on the old bank building at Main and Mercer. Hopefully these plaques were saved.

Ol’ Homer remembers back in ‘84 when President Reagan spoke in front of the driveway arch in front of the City Hall complex on State Street, the Secret Service borrowed the “Worlds Largest Flag” that is hung on the GWB and hung it over 210 Main Street so that no potential shooter would have a clear shot at the President.Someone must have a picture of that.

The renderings are somewhat confusing if you look at the Hekemian website. Perhaps the editor/ administrator of this website can ask Mr. Hekemian to superimpose the street names onto the renderings to clarify what building elevations front which streets. Should be simple enough.
